Yeon Hee.

Brother.

Get away from me. Get away from me, you monster!

Yeon Hee!

Taoist.

- Episode 10 -

What's wrong?

Does your brother not know anything?

- Brother cannot know. - Why?

- Just tell your brother honestly and— - What do I tell him?

Do I tell him to bear with the fact that I'm a cursed witch,

or to run away because he may die if he stays next to me?

No one told me why,

and I don't even know why I was born with this curse.

So what do I tell him?

If you don't want to say anything, we can't do anything. But your brother

will want to hear any explanation from you.

Didn't you say your weren't going to hide and run away any more?

I want to see a person I miss again.

I'm glad that Yeon Hee,

and you, Taoist, are both safe.

You must have been worried, but there was a situation that could not be explained.

Is it because of that situation that

Yeon Hee is fleeing from me?

Is it not that she couldn't find me,

but that she was avoiding me?

You must be frustrated, but there was a situation in which we couldn't say anything.

Pretending you don't know is helping the lady and me.

This is what I've been told ever since I was young, from my father. "Don't meet Yeon Hee."

"Don't ask why."

Whether to meet her or not, whether I can know the reason or not,

I decide that.

I'm so thankful that you are alive.

Arrest everyone and take them away!

Hearing there were the armed people at the Palace Shaman Council,

Queen Dowager was very surprised.

She provides the guards in order for the prayer not to be disturbed.

So don't worry and sincerely hold the ceremony.

Ever since she has become regent, she's been this concerned with me.

I understand well. Please send great thanks to Queen Dowager.

She said to send great thanks?

That insolent woman.

Watch what Hong Joo does closely, and report to me any suspicious activity right away.

Yes, Your Highness.

The sibling's relationship must be very close.

I did not know we were going to meet again like this.

How did you come here?

That is...

Perhaps,

Is it because of him?

No. It is because I have business.

Is Father

alright?

Because of me...

Did something happen that day?

Yeon Hee,

slowly, tomorrow, the next day, and the next,

you can meet me and tell me, from the beginning to the end. Okay?

Sir Royal Guard Captain! You are here.

- What's the problem? - His Highness is urgently looking for you ever since yesterday.

Yeon Hee, let's meet again at this place tomorrow.

If we meet again, I will ask about your crime.

I have no crime that I have to speak of to you.

Poong Yeon,

the only person that I, with my arms and legs cut off (incapable), can trust, is you.

There is something you must do for me.

Tell me what to do.

I heard Queen Dowager gave birth to a cursed princess.

That princess is the cause of my illness, so find that princess and cure my illness,

and twist the Queen Dowager's neck.

Did Hong Joo say this?

Why?

Do I look foolish, listening to the words of a mere shamaness?

Your Majesty, because of the anxiety due to your illness,

it seems as if you have been dazzled by a mere shamaness's words.

Your father,

saved the princess who should have died.

The Lead Shamaness approached me, using my illness,

and brought back the Palace Shaman Council, and

your father has influenced the Queen Dowager

and revived the Taoist temple.

My father has come back?

There must be a reason why they suddenly came back to the palace. I think it's

because of the princess.

Poong Yeon,

if my life were at risk,

what would you do?

I would sacrifice my own life at any cost without any hesitation.

That's right.

Then, for me...

can you even cut filial ties between a father and a son?

If I can believe that shamaness, if that princess is alive, I must learn for myself.

So, without being tied of your father, by the personal affection for this nation, for me,

investigate your father.

If that is true,

find that princess and bring her to me inconspicuously.

But, isn't it really regrettable today?

I thought Red Robes would definitely appear today, but

I guess if he met us he would have quickly run away.

Yes, he would have. I wanted to properly go against him today.

Today his fortune was good.

- What's that sound? - Unni, let's go and see. Hurry! Hurry!

The thief of Pyeongahn is coming.

- Let go! - Look closely.

- Let me go! - What do you think you are doing?

Why are they doing that to that person?

It's dragging a criminal.

They drag criminals here and there, letting people know of their crimes,

and humiliate them.

Hey!

Charge of contempt of the nobles

Untie me from this! I did nothing wrong. Untie me!

She still hasn't come to her senses yet, seeing how she's speaking informally.

Hey!

You all saw this, right? She foolishly looked down upon a noble and disturbs the principles of the nobles and commoners.

Until she repents, I'm going to drag her around every day and tie her to this tree,

so you all too, watch and learn to keep the law.

Understand?

You, a**hole f**king chewable bastard!

Before I take a spoon and carve out all your intestines,

untie me immediately! Untie me!

This! This girl who wants to die!

Do you think Heo Jun will come?

He is not coming. He and I are not related at all, so why would he even come to save me?

If you're trying to bait someone, do it correctly, you fool!

You all saw this, right? This is the crime of looking down upon a noble.

Even if I kill you right here in this place, it'll be not enough for me, right?

Until now, I've been tolerating you with my abundant generosity,

but I don't know for sure how much longer my patience will last.

- That guy is trying this hard to catch you, scholar? - Let's go.

Why do lowly people not know their place?

Only when their mothers and fathers have been punished properly do they come back to their senses.

Where is your mother?!

Scholar! Scholar!

You spring at me without knowing your place.

- Can you run? - Of course I can, as quick as the wind.

Get ready, Seo Ri.

Hurry, catch them! Stop right there!

Hey, you fools! Hurry up and come!

What are you doing when it's so dangerous?

No matter, no matter how angry you get...

It's not over yet.

Argh, where did they run?

Where are they?

Don't look. Go over there.

What must I do to make you stop?

Stop?

I'll stop when you're dead.

Hey, while you lived, have you ever once put yourself in my shoes?

If you didn't go around the neighborhood bragging, we wouldn't have been compared.

I wouldn't have heard from my mother that I was ill-born.

Only if you weren't here, I wouldn't have become like this.

So, is that why you killed my mother?

Because you didn't like me?

I did? I didn't kill her.

Your mother, by herself, crawled into that fire.

Hey. Think about it. Does it make sense for a runaway slave to continue living?

You're the one who forced your mother into that fire!

That's right.

Your words are right.

Because of me...

Because I have no power at all,

I couldn't protect my mother.

In the end, the only way for you to stop bothering me,

is this.

You know this place, right?

Let's end it here.

Jun, Jun. Wait. Wait.

Wait. Calm down.

Think about it carefully.

Hey! Come to your senses.

Hey, come to your senses!

Hey, I'm your only brother in this world.

Come to your senses. Please, come to your senses!

Don't do it!

Don't be like this...

Don't be like this.

Don't do it.

No.

Taoist Temple

Father.

Mother.

I'm sorry for being a bad son.

I couldn't dispel your resentments.

I-I couldn't kill him.

How have you been?

I'm sorry for making you worry.

There is a reason why I couldn't contact you.

What about your mother?

She is waiting for you every day.

Why did you not come home?

After hearing the news of your appointment, I got to know that you came back to the palace.

Only if I finish the work here will I be able to peacefully go back home.

Take good care of your mother, and if anything happens, you must tell me right away.

I was very scared that the time when I saw you on that day,

would be the last.

Possibly...

Did you meet Yeon Hee?

Yes, I met her.

Are you not curious about Yeon Hee?

- Yeon Hee is— - Your feelings for Yeon Hee...

Have they not changed?

They have changed.

It is not feelings of a child now.

Why Yeon Hee had to live all by herself? What really happened in the Black Forest that day?

I will no longer ask.

Now there is no need for reasons.

Whatever happens...

I will not let go of Yeon Hee.

After that day, I only lived with that in mind.

Even if you die because of your feelings for her?

You will not stop?

Even if I die, I will not stop.

There is not one who lit a candle, but the candle was lit...

I must meet the princess as soon as possible.

Aigoo. My shoulder.

Will you really be okay?

It's not okay...

So give me 300 nyang?

If you're not going to give me 300 nyang. Butt out.

You formed a ring.

I don't want to be involved in dirty business again, so leave me out.

Dir-dirty?

Why are you saying that while looking directly at me?

That man is really vicious. Is there any place you can flee to?

- If you don't have, then with us— - Wait.

So what if she doesn't have?

You can't come to our place. Never!

Our place is not a social service center.

Who is calling who poor? You have beggar-like hair.

Beggar?

- What? Beggar? - Ahjussi!

- What? What now? - I...

can live off someone's back, but I don't make debts.

So what?

So be relieved.

- Hey, since before— - Oh, Heo Jun.

In the future, if you perhaps really, really need my help,

look for me from the barmaid at Banchu tavern.

Make sure to bring a lot of money with you. You already know how expensive I am, right?

- Understood. - I'm going.

What's wrong with that tiny girl?

Let's go.

Let's go together!

Mother.

Mother.

Child?

No.

You're not the Crown Prince.

You are an illusion.

Go away.

Mother.

Save me.

Save me.

Mother.

Please save me.

Please.

Mother. I'm in so much pain.

Please save me.

What kind of mischief are you doing again, you wench?

You, wench!

Isn't it that you didn't need the crown prince?

I won't let you, any more,

mess with the royal bloodline again.

So, did you hold hands with His Excellency Choi Hyun Seo to block me?

You called soldiers to lock me in, and you commanded the princess to be found?

Boo!

Can't you stop it immediately?!

Boo.

Didn't you abandon the crown prince and choose the princess?

Don't be fooled.

If you aren't going to be on my side, don't thoughtlessly come near me.

Mother!

Boo!

Please! Please save...

Mother, please! Please save me...

Are you going to continue stopping me?

Don't be shaken!

Boo!

Do it.

Try making the crown prince's soul float around without finding the place to stay.

Since you give in the card as precious as your life like this,

how thankful I am.

I lost.

Your Excellency, if you make Crown Prince, for hundreds, no thousands of years,

wander around alone not in this world nor in another world,

so he commits suicide, what will you do?

So, I will do my best to rid of him.

Stop!

I will remove the guards and release the sharmanesses as well.

So please don't do it.

Please!

If you only had killed the princess, then

such a horrid occurrence would not have happened.

Who the person trying to save the crown prince is,

and who is trying to stop that from happening,

Think about it carefully.

The candle was lit, yes?

How did this automatically?

Did you listen to someone's wish without letting me know?

There is someone who drank medicine.

Oh my God!

Scholar Heo. Scholar Heo. Scholar Heo. I knew it when I saw your good facial features.

Why are you like this?

Because of the Scholar, a candle was lit.

What?

Now without the wishing plank we can light the candles.

That's good.

Scholar, are you also happy?

Yes, I'm happy that I was of help.

But now, the problem is how we are going to receive people's wishes.

We can't stop by each person's place to receive it personally.

Can we worry about that a little bit later?

I'm feeling too happy right now.

Investigate your father.

I heard your father saved the Princess who was supposed to have been killed.

If what that Shamaness said is true, you have to find the Princess and bring her to me secretly.

The King was born on the day of Ox, the hour of In (3am-5am).

Crown Prince Sunhoe was born on the of Snake, the hour of In (3am-5am).

The energy of each day of Ox and Snake gathers together and makes a synthesis of three matching earthly branches. (12 earthly branches used in the calendar and numbers)

Each of their birth year belongs to the group of Tiger, Horse, and Dog years so it matches to a synthesis of three matching earthly branches.

The energy of two souls and two bodies

fits to the fate of the day of Rooster and the hour of Sul (7pm-9pm)

That was it.

What you, Hong Joo were trying to do.

Sister.

Sister.

Where are you going?

Ah.

I'm so frustrated that I might try to go to Temple Taeil.

I really don't know how to light up the people's true spirits...

I will come back if there is anything that may help.

Taoist.

When I meet my brother today, I'll bring him into this place.

Here?

Please, have a look here.

Please, come and have a look.

I'm not sure what is good or bad. Can you pick out for me?

I'll take this one please.

Do you want to have it?

No. Where will I use this?

These clothes are all tailored with fine fabrics matched up by the colors.

Choose whatever you want. The size of the one who is going to wear?

Ah... well... that is...

Those have to be fit for her.

Aigoo, yes! Please, come!

Come inside. Wait a minute.

Good.

I've already told you that I'm meeting my brother today.

But then why are you saying that you can't go all of a sudden?

Well, I mean...

Although I'm embarrassed to say this to you...

I can't go with you because I'm so scared of ghosts.

The ghost baby. The bachelor ghost. The water ghost.

And most of all,

the ghost of a virgin!

Yesterday you told me with your own mouth that the ghost-seeing potion's medicinal effect had dropped.

Why does my belly hurt like this all of a sudden?

Why like this?

Why are you being like this?

Because I have helped you once, shouldn't you also help me out this time?

Okay, okay, I got it.

Then you...

Talk to me with the casual language like you did before.

We are not even that close to talk to each other with the casual language.

Anyway you are always acting like that. Killing the dog after hunting is over.

Hurry up and come out please.

Sir. Where are you going?

Ah, right.

Wait for me here. I'll go and get the clothes.

Ah. That's right.

Sol Gae?

There will come a time when you will use it.

It is done.

Try it on to see if it fits.

- Yes? - You should try this on.

No. It's all right.

Hey! Here. Here you go. Immediately.

These are the King's and Crown Prince Sunhoe's fates according to their Four Pillars (year, month, day, hour of the birth)

Their fates according to the Four Pillars match to a synthesis of the earthly branches.

That is the reason why Hong Joo approached His Majesty initially.

I have already seen the Crown Prince when he came upon His Majesty.

Hong Joo, that person said she would have my Crown Prince sit on the throne.

She wants to be seated herself.

To make her wish come true, she must do a thing.

What is it?

She will have to make Crown Prince kill the Princess with his hands.

What do you mean?

Why would the Crown Prince do to the Princess?

It is because only her twin, the Crown Prince, can kill the Princess successfully.

In that way the curse of Princess will be laid on the Royal Family.

My son...

Why would he need to go through that horrible thing?

Why does Boo have to go through this even when he died.

My pitiful Boo.

My poor Boo.

The fit fated day to the synthesis of three matching earthly branches is

the day of Rooster and the hour of Sul (7pm-9pm).

Before that happens, she will try to bring the Princess back into the Palace.

Then what should we do now?

This time there isn't probably anything I could help with.

We must stop her.

Can you do that?

With that body...

It was no big deal.

Right now, I can't tell you about it but...

There is someone who would sacrifice his own life for the Princess.

That guy will lift the cure of the Princess.

Please have it that way.

When we find the Princess, we will have a ritual to wash out the curse at Palace Shaman Council.

At that time, leave your body to me.

Leave my body to you?

The evil spirit laid on your body will need to be washed out, too.

During the ritual, you can think as if you were sleeping.

When you open your eyes, the sickness will be gone.

It will be as if you were reborn.

If I just do that,

will it put an end to this pain?

Yes, it will.

Your Excellency!

Your Exellency.

Yo Gwang.

Have you been well? I thought you went wrong.

You've worked hard to protect Yeon Hee for all this time.

Not at all.

Talismanic shield of Chungbing Temple broke down because I wasn't pay attention to it like an idiot.

It didn't break because of your fault.

You knew the barrier was broken?

-I did that. -Yes?

The man by Yeon Hee's side is acting as her Talismanic shield, right?

Have you seen him? I don't even know how but...

That person has the ghost-warding pattern

It's a fate of Heaven.

Yo Gwang, there is something you must do for me.

Are you going to keep that up?

About what? Don't pay me no mind.

We aren't even that close anyway.

Would you like me to make you some rice balls later? (now in the casual talking.)

Huh?

When you don't feel good, if you eat something, you'll feel better.

Would something sweet be better?

Would being like that suddenly...

Then... What about sweet rice drink (Sikhye)? (Sikhye is a traditional sweet Korean rice beverage. )

As expected, you feel much better after thinking about eating something, right?

Yes. I do like it. A lot.

Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee!

Hong Joo has gotten near Cheongbin Temple. Her finding Yeon Hee is now a matter of time.

Then what should we do now?

In front of Poong Yeon, momentarily separate Yeon Hee and the guy that becomes her talismanic shield.

Pardon?

Let Poong Yeon see Yeon Hee's curse with his own eyes.

If his heart doesn't waver even after seeing Yeon Hee's in her cursed state,

he's the last person who can undo her curse.

Heo Jun!

Heo Jun!

Yeon Hee.

Poong Yeon, only a true love's sacrifice,

can light the last candle.

I have hidden this from you to protect you only.

But if this is your destiny,

now your father cannot seek to go against it.

Your own father will lead you to your death.

What are you doing here?

Why are you in this place? Come down with me.

Yeon Hee.

Yeon Hee!

It has been a long while, baby.

You have not forgotten about me.

Mirror of the Witch ~ Preview ~

Where did Yeon Hee go?

Why on earth?!

Please just wait a little longer.

I will let you meet your sister.

Seo Ri!

We meet again.

No matter how hard I struggle,

is it not possible to escape the curse?

Whether you have been cursed, have white hair, to me you're just Yeon Hee.

Let's get away with me together. I'll be right by your side to protect you.

I will not move according to your will.

Why were you born like this? Nobody wanted you at all.

If his heart does not change even after seeing Yeon Hee in her cursed state

Yeon Hee!

He will be the last person that can undo Yeon Hee's curse.
